Though the fear of mental deterioration is one of the great apprehensions of aging, over the past 30 years neuroscientists have discovered that the structure of the brain allows it to actually improve its functionality throughout life. In this entertaining book, a leading proponent of creative thinking and a pioneer in brainwave synchronization techniques encourage this improvement with their inspiring plan for action. After interviewing physicians, gerontologists, and neuroscientists, and studying the habits of men and women who epitomize healthy aging, Michael Gelb and Kelly Howell created a program to activate unused brain areas, tone memory muscles, and invigorate mental faculties, and applied it to their own lives. They present it here along with Howell's downloadable Brain Sync audio program, designed to increase mental clarity, improve memory, and enjoy many of the same mental benefits experienced by long-term meditators.
